Peak 10 Opens Third Data Center in Louisville

New facility continues company's expansion and growth strategy for 2011.

Peak 10 Inc., a managed services company, yesterday announced the opening of its third enterprise-class facility contiguous with current operations in Louisville. Ky. The 11,500 square-foot addition brings its total footprint to nearly 25,000 square feet and is the company's 20th data center facility within its 10 US markets.

The company mentions that the third Louisville data center is engineered with multiple levels of security, uninterruptible power, HVAC systems, fire suppression and around-the-clock monitoring and management. It is interconnected with the company's private network, providing customers with the advantage of highly available internet access and the ability to leverage 17 data centers in nine other markets when implementing disaster recovery solutions.

The company states that to ensure an unparalleled level of stability and facility integrity, the new Louisville site underwent a formal commissioning process prior to customer installations. Leveraging an industry-leading facilities engineering and IT consulting firm, its data center commissioning is a structured process which establishes the capability and reliability of mission-critical infrastructure. The process includes multiple and repeated test cycles using equipment that simulates how the data center operates at various load levels and failover conditions.

It further states that the company's cloud, managed IT and data center services improve performance and reliability, lower costs and maximize internal resources for customers while keeping their valuable information technology assets close to the business. The company combines its secure, private network and enterprise-class data centers with world-class engineering and support to serve market-leading companies nationwide. As a managed services leader, it offers a wide range of technology solutions including cloud, virtualization and managed hosting services in a cost-efficient and reliable platform for its customers. The company owns and operates data centers in 10 key markets.
